Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 17, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how pifra.pakword.com handles information when you visit or interact with this website.

Who We Are

Our website address is:

https://pifra.pakword.com/

PIFRA Guide by Pakword is an independent informational website. It is not operated by FABS, CGA, AGPR, the Ministry of Finance, or the Government of Pakistan.

The website publishes informational guides about salary slips, DDO budgets, bill tracking and related FABS/PIFRA services.

Information We Collect

Most visitors can read this website without creating an account or providing personal information directly to us.

Information may be processed when you voluntarily interact with website features, such as leaving a comment where comments are enabled.

Our web server and hosting infrastructure may also process routine technical information needed to deliver and protect the website, such as:

  • IP address
  • browser and device information
  • requested pages
  • date and time of requests
  • referring page
  • technical error or security information

We do not ask visitors to submit government payroll credentials merely to read our guides.

Comments

If comments are enabled on a page and you leave a comment, WordPress may collect the information you enter in the comment form together with your IP address and browser user-agent information for moderation and spam detection.

If an email address is provided with a comment, an anonymized version of that address may be sent to the Gravatar service to determine whether you use a Gravatar profile.

If your comment is approved, any name, profile image or other information configured to appear publicly with the comment may be visible to other visitors.

Do not include confidential government or financial information in a public comment.

Cookies

The website may use standard WordPress cookies where relevant.

For example, if comments are enabled, WordPress may allow you to save your name, email address and website in a cookie so you do not need to enter them again when leaving another comment.

WordPress also uses administrative and login cookies for authorized site administrators and users who access the WordPress backend.

Ordinary visitors do not need a WordPress login to read the public information on this website.

Cookie use may change if new website functions are introduced. This policy should be updated if advertising, analytics, consent-management or other services that set additional cookies are added.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Some articles may link to or embed content from external websites, such as:

  • government portals
  • videos
  • images
  • documents
  • other online resources

Embedded content can behave as though you visited the external website directly.

That external provider may collect information, use cookies or record your interaction according to its own privacy policy.

We do not control how an external website handles information after you leave pifra.pakword.com.

Server Logs and Website Security

Our hosting and website systems may process technical logs needed to:

  • deliver pages
  • identify errors
  • prevent abuse
  • detect malicious activity
  • maintain website security

These logs may include information such as IP address, browser information and requested URLs.

We do not publish a fixed retention period for technical server logs because retention can depend on the hosting, security and operational systems in use.

How We Use Information

Information processed through the website may be used to:

  • operate and maintain the website
  • display and moderate comments
  • prevent spam and abuse
  • diagnose technical problems
  • protect the site from security threats
  • respond to genuine website-related enquiries where a contact method is available
  • improve the accuracy and usability of our informational content

We do not use information submitted to this website to access government payroll records or private FABS accounts.

How Long We Keep Information

We do not apply one retention period to every type of information.

Comments and associated metadata may be retained while they remain useful for moderation and discussion, unless they are removed.

Technical logs may be retained according to operational, hosting or security requirements.

Where information is no longer reasonably needed, it may be deleted as part of normal website administration.

Who We Share Information With

Information may be processed by service providers that are necessary to operate the website, such as hosting, security or spam-detection services.

If comments use Gravatar, an anonymized email hash may be provided to Gravatar to check whether a profile exists.

We do not sell government employee payroll information because this website does not operate a government payroll database or require visitors to provide payroll records in order to use our guides.

Advertising and Analytics

At the time of this policy update, this policy does not identify a specific advertising or analytics provider.

If services such as advertising, audience analytics or additional tracking technologies are enabled on this website, this Privacy Policy should be updated to identify those services and explain the information they process.

Your Choices

You can choose not to leave a comment or provide optional information through website features.

You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect optional website functions.

If you previously submitted personal information through a website feature and want to ask about it, use the genuine contact method published on this website where available.

We may need enough information to identify the relevant record before acting on a request, but you should not send unnecessary confidential government information.

Children’s Privacy

This website is intended to provide government-service information primarily for employees, pensioners, DDOs, accounts staff and other users seeking financial-service guidance.

We do not intentionally ask children to provide sensitive government, payroll or financial information.

If a parent or guardian believes a child has submitted personal information through the website, they should use the website’s available contact method to report the issue.

External Government Websites

Our guides frequently direct users to official government websites such as FABS, CGA, AGPR and related Accountant General services.

When you follow a link from pifra.pakword.com to an external government website, you leave our website.

The external government’s:

  • privacy policy
  • cookies
  • security practices
  • forms
  • data collection
  • retention practices

then apply to your interaction with that service.

pifra.pakword.com does not receive the personal information you enter directly into an official government form simply because we linked you to it.

Sensitive Government and Payroll Information

Please do not post confidential information in public comments or send it through an unrelated website feature.

This includes:

  • CNIC
  • employee or personnel number
  • payroll records
  • complete salary slips
  • bank account information
  • email passwords
  • government system passwords
  • OTPs
  • private government documents
  • confidential departmental records

pifra.pakword.com does not need your password, OTP or complete payroll record to explain how a government service works.

For account-specific salary, bill or government-record issues, use the appropriate official government channel.

No Public Employee Database

pifra.pakword.com does not maintain a public database of government employees.

We do not provide direct access to:

  • FABS payroll records
  • employee salary accounts
  • government bill files
  • private DDO records
  • AGPR employee accounts
  • government authentication credentials

Any official service reached through a government link is operated separately from this website.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

This policy may be updated when the website’s features or data practices change.

For example, the policy should be reviewed if the site adds or changes:

  • analytics
  • advertising
  • contact forms
  • newsletters
  • user accounts
  • affiliate tracking
  • comment systems
  • security services
  • cookie-management tools

The current revision date will be shown at the top of this page.

Contact

For privacy questions or corrections, use the genuine contact method published on pifra.pakword.com.

Do not send CNIC copies, passwords, OTPs, salary slips or other sensitive government records unless there is a clear and legitimate reason to provide specific information through an appropriate secure channel.
